From the Oct. 22, 2012, CBS News.
Antoni Dobrowolski, educator, died Oct. 22 in Debno, Poland.
After Poland was taken over by the Germans in 1939, they banned education of the children beyond four years of elementary school as they considered the Poles inferior and wanted to maintain them as a slave race. However, Polish educators formed an underground effort to continue the education and Mr. Dobrowolski was one of them.
He was arrested and sent to Auschwitz in June 1942, a place he described as being "worse than Dante's hell." He was later transferred to two more prison camps and liberated in 1945. At least 1.1 million died at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, mostly Jews.
He was born Oct. 8, 1904, in Wolborz, Poland.
To Resist and Take the Consequences.
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
